Harold was always full of humor and laughter. I have many memories as a child of things that only Harold could get away with just to keep up the laughter with all the kids. He will be deeply missed.

Harold was one of the nicest men I ever met. His quiet manner, was offset by the humorous sparkle in his eye, and his sense of humor was suberb. He will be in my prayers.
